I added a variable with color to the function. This improvement is not available on GitHub

function showAbIndex(doc, lyrName) {
  var tmpLayer;
    
  try {
    tmpLayer = doc.layers.getByName(lyrName);
  } catch (e) {
    tmpLayer = doc.layers.add();
    tmpLayer.name = lyrName;
  }

  var color = new RGBColor();
  color.red = 255;

  for (var i = 0, len = doc.artboards.length; i < len; i++)  {
    doc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(i);
    var currAb = doc.artboards[i],
        abWidth = currAb.artboardRect[2] - currAb.artboardRect[0],
        abHeight = currAb.artboardRect[1] - currAb.artboardRect[3],
        label = doc.textFrames.add(),
        labelSize = (abWidth >= abHeight) ? abHeight / 2 : abWidth / 2;
    label.contents = i + 1;
    // 1296 pt limit for font size in Illustrator
    label.textRange.characterAttributes.size = (labelSize > 1296) ? 1296 : labelSize;
    label.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = color;
    label.position = [currAb.artboardRect[0], currAb.artboardRect[1]];
    label.move(tmpLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
  }

  redraw();
}

hello sergey, very useful script, like all the ones you've created, but I don't understand why only the "find/replace" function works for me, however very useful. Unfortunately I can't use the "suffix/prefix" functions instead, nothing happens, it doesn't behave like in your example. Probably I'm doing something wrong... Thanks in advance

sorry... I found out now that surely it's my machine that has problems (macOS Mojave + illustrator 25.4.8), I tried it on another more up-to-date computer with macOS monterey and illustrator 27.4.1 and everything works perfectly!, sorry again for the hasty request...

This would work:

function artboardRef() {
    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
    for (i = 0; i < aDoc.artboards.length; i++) {
        var abName = aDoc.artboards[i].name;
        aDoc.artboards[i].name = (i + 1) + '_' + abName;
    }
}

artboardRef();

No. Selected layers and artboards in panels are used by the user for manual movement, but this selection is not available to the API.
